GOAL/  Become champion with my soccer team in Argentina.

My motivation to achieve this goal was my classmates to the team, my friends and my father. To achieve this, we trainer twice as hard with more intensely.

At the end of the year we managed to win the championship.

The friend's I used to have weren't good for me at all in the way they were bad influences, so I had decided I needed new friends to make better choices,so I decided I hang around better people who make better decisions.

Fear:A fear I used to have when I was younger was snakes, but I had recently overcame that when my friend went to go buy a snake from a pet shop and I started liking them more.

Achieving a Goal: About a year ago I decided that I wanted to be able to cook for myself. I was always interested in cooking and I wanted to be good at it. So I started to learn to cook by getting help from my parents or following recipes and so far after a year of practicing and learning I feel as if I've become a solid cook.

Goals- I have wanted to get closer with God and I have by reading the bible and going to church and praying

kindness- a woman was at a gas station paying for her stuff in change but she didn't have enough so I payed for her stuff

challenges I have won- wrestling I wanted to be on the varsity team so I trained every day to get there and I did it

Before school started and during the summer, I didn't know how to cook. Not even mac and cheese. But now i'm taking Culinary Arts as my career tech.

Kindness: VOLUNTEERING AT MY CHURCH.

During the summer, my church had asked to help them with vacation bible school. and I had helped a bunch of kids in different age groups. I gave them snacks and drinks

Goals I met: Starting varsity on the football team.

Spending money for my friends: Ill always make sure my friends get whatever they need. If they need a couple bucks for something, food. Anything I can help with I will.

Challenge: Wipe day with no teammates can really be a challenge, being a solo lone wolf can be tough with all the big groups of people around trying to loot monuments and farming roads, that's why I would live next to the ocean in the jungle to survive and thrive in the jungle.

Vincent

Goal/ My goal was to get into systems and earn more about manufacturing and welding so I took Manufacturing basics and welding technologies and I got in.

For three years, I lived on a semi-truck with my biological mom and over time I had become even more withdrawn than I was in middle school.

CHALLENGE-Heights.

Heights were always a fear of mine, but over time and a few high rides at universal-the fear quickly disappeared and now heights aren't an issue.

Finding a way to live with half blindness. We realized that problem when I was really young we missed the window for a surgery to help it. I am legally blind in it but due to getting adapted to it I can rely on my right eye to technically see out of it

Kindness: My friend has had problems being confident in himself and he has asked me what he should do to help him be more confident and I suggested the gym because it has helped me and he came to the gym with me.

over coming fear- I used to be scared of being alone and left behind. I had to go to counseling for a few months but end up knowing I was worth being around

Challenges: Around four years ago to now, I found myself feeling worse mentally as every day went by. It was very confusing to me and the biggest challenge for this time was reaching out for help. I got into therapy and then ended it because it wasn't helping, I found different ways to feel better and halfway overcame it.

Kindness: When my friend was feeling depressed I went out to a bunch of stores and bought her a bunch of self care products and snacks. I then surprised her with it and it improved her mood and made her smile.

Goals: my goal was to join the soccer team(and I did), in my country I used to play but it was mostly for fun, not very serious at my first practice it was a little hard because of the sun but I really liked the girls now my goal is to improve my skills and play better

Challenge 2: Throughout my school life I've had a great deal of anxiety, due to my clothes, body and mental. I spoke to no one and hated going to school, everyday I felt constantly constipated and always felt terrible. fast forward to when I was 15 I started doing online school, for 2 years I did online school and then went I finally when I went to this school my social battery was kinda dead so I really didn't have anxiety anymore.

Hurricane experience- Back in 2016 Hurricane Matthew had grown up to a category 5, it had hit the mainland fairly quick. Then in a few days we were in the eye of the storm,while it was leaving it threw tree branches threw our roof. In the meantime i was watching Stanger things and playing monopoly with my family . It took weeks for power and wifi to turn back on

Kindness: My friend was going through personal life problems and I talked to him and explained how it'll get better

Goal: Playing guitar, my family is very music oriented. I picked up my moms old guitar, two years later and I don't go a day without playing!

kindness- Im always there for people who need it even if im not okay or having a bad day.

Challenge: I was very young when i was diagnosed with ADHD, i used to never sit still or id never be on task, drawing and doodling, but i learned how to efficiently work and do something i wanna do while still doing my work like in supposed to.

Back in 2017 i was in thrid grade at a arts academeny in detriot when i got pulled out of class and being told i was moving. I hated the fact i had to move and leave everyone behind. i got over it by meeting new people who werent so bad.

Kindness- doing comunity service.

Last year i did a two weeks of comunity service at a food pantry with my younger cousin.

goals: one of my big goals were to start working and I was nervous because of meeting the new people and scare that like I would mess up and they would get mad but I started working and started getting good at my job and now I feel confident as ever and Im pretty decent I'm my job now.

Moving is a big change. At least for me it was a big fear of mine. I lived in Roseville Ohio, a small town right outside of Zanesville for my entire life. I went to the Franklin Local School District for my entire time in school. So moving away from everything I knew was obviously going to be tough for me. But I was sure that moving was going to be the best option for me. I expected to never be able to settle down in the new house but now it's just become the new normal.

Goal/Playing the guitar

Almost two years ago I wanted to play the guitar. Unfortunately at the time my family lacked the funds to invest in an expensive hobby like that. One day after a long five months, while visiting my dad he handed me a guitar bag and told me that he had got me one. I was so excited as I had previously just given up on the dream I had. Slowly I got better at the guitar, and now I have two more guitars now. Two electric guitars and one acoustic. I play everyday for multiple hours. I've improved and gotten so much better than I was when I first started.

challenge: back in 2019 I found out that I had ADHD and had to take medicine until I was able to control it.

Goal - Learning something new was always scary to me, I figured out how to do my nails and after doing it for so long now it is a hobbie of mine instead of a goal.

kindness: i think one of the biggest parts of kindness that i give out is listening and understanding. those are some of the biggest things you could do for someone when they are talking. i also jst think giving advice to people and letting them know someone understands or wants to hear you is one of the best feelings, especially when u need it the most!!

challenge- I really want to get good with my sleep schedule so I can be more productive at school and outside of school, summertime really messed up my schedule and when I have a bad sleep schedule during school and it makes things harder and its also harder to fix it.

2. Saving a Kitten

   Kindness - On October 13th 2024 we found a Calico Kitten starved and weak under my families truck and we were able to get her to come over and my family and I nursed her back to health. This helped her in the long run now being a healthy happy bundle of joy.

2. Overcoming a fear: My fear was public speaking because I felt like people were going to judge me or I would mess up. But now I feel comfortable going up in crowds because I know everyone is just worried about themselves.

One of my challenges that I had was my mindset it was really bad during my sport seasons and I was not willing to do anything not put in the work or nothing but I got over by having someone there to motivate me to push myself not only in sports but academically as well my parents help me a lot boosting me to do more every single day and it really helps and as they do that I see improvement of my mindset every single day.

I learned about this sport that would get me closer to the softball coaches and keep me in shape for the season. I started to pick it up little by little and really apply myself I wanted to be great. I busted my butt and ran my heart out until I was eventually pulled up to varsity by the end of my first season.

Fear- sleeping at houses without my mom

when I was little an intruder had broken into our house for months without us knowing, and I would never feel unsafe and I would sleep in my own bed . once he was found inside our house I could leave my moms bed I couldn't sleep without her I didn't feel safe anymore, I'd try sleepovers but always ended up calling her for her to come get me because I could sleep, with age I figured out tactics to call down and eventually was able to sleep alone again.

kindness: I volunteer at a nursing home and its nice. I get to know more people and I get to help them weather its just someone to talk to or helping keep them active.

Ten months ago, my aunt gave me a puppy. He's a very cute Shih Tzu. When she gave him to me, he was six months old. He was very small, and technically, it was my first time taking care of a puppy. The truth is, I was afraid of dogs, but since he was so small, he was the exception. Now that he's almost a year old with me, I can say that, thanks to him, I'm no longer afraid of puppies.

Kindness: Help my friend learn Algebra.

-Maths always seemed difficult to me and in my first year I had to study Algebra with a friend, she didn't understand anything and that was a big problem so every afternoon I explained Maths to her and she managed to pass the class with a good grade, from that experience I learned that sometimes it's not that things are difficult, it's that you don't give them enough time and attention, and that there are times when you have to look at things from another angle to understand them, not everything is black or white.

Fear- I used to be terrified of horror movies until I started to make fun of them

Fear: Heights, I hated heights and I still dislike them but I've been way better with them for the past few years.

Goal 2: Getting my work done. instead of talking i put my work first.

I was working at the front register at my job as usual, and this little old lady asked me if she came up to get the food or if we would take it to the tables. It was hard to tell her no in the moment so I just did it, and she was so grateful she insisted to tip me.

Goal:

I got my motorcycle license this summer after playing it off for months because I was given the ultimatum of either go take the test or not ride the bike, and the ending of the season coming soon pushed me to go get it.

Goal: I used to love solving rubix cubes all different types. I started doing it faster and faster. I bought faster cubes and used better techniques to solve faster. I was timing myself and I got 30 seconds and reached my goal.

Overcoming fears-I used to have a fear about what people think about me and how I looked and I was always told to not care but I always still cared and then I finally realized I am perfect in my eyes and I don't need to change for other people and just be myself so I finally realized I don't care what people think about me and I'm just being myself

Fear: I have had a fear of failure from a young age and now that im a junior ive grown to overcome such fear. my significant other had helped and had me grow out of such fear.

Fear: snakes

Kindness: I was sitting in the car with my brother and we were driving to kroger and sawa homeless man with a dog, my brother went in and got the man a sandwich and the dog some dog food

2

goal: i wanted to get almost all straight A's and B"s last year and i accomplished it.

kindness~ I was outside when my neighbor was trying to clean her pool, I asked her if she needed help and she said no but I asked again to make sure and she said I could. so I helped her clean her pool. she gave me a Hershey bar in return.

Changing schools is scary in general but i switched schools my soft more year so every one in my grade has already found their groups and already knows the school. I also had to take freshman classes because my old school flipped classes so not only did I not know anyone I was in different classes then people in my grade. it was really scary at first but then I made a couple friends and it all started to get easier.

Challenge:

Quitting dance is one of the hardest things I have done. I had done dance for 11 years and it was my whole life outside of school. but then I got hurt and I had to quit to not get hurt more.

When will I die? When you die no one will know or ever know what happens to you when it's all over. Is there nothing or a place that no one can imagine? I personally didn't think about life after death till a year ago. So I did research on death because I was scared that if I died that all I did in my life was for no reason. But what I found is that everybody around the world believes in their own god or after life which made me more confident that nobody will know so why care.  

Goal- being a mechanic

When I get out of high school I want to be able to get a job as a mechanic. I hope i'm going to get a apprenticeship my senior year. I also want to learn the insides of transmissions.

Challenge- I struggled with social anxiety, I always thought people were going to judge me for the things I did or said. I realized that not everyone cares about what I do and aren't watching my every move, some people will judge no matter what you do so just be yourself no matter what anyone says about you.
